Accomplishments
By Objective
Objective #1: Develop and/or improve nutrient recommendations for diverse cropping systems based on soil, water, and plant analysis results and management strategies in the Western Region.
Peer-reviewed book chapters, journal, and extension articles were published by members of the group with 100s of presentations at various professional and grower meetings. Additionally, a range of online material and user-friendly calculators have been developed.
FRST Tool will be going live in upcoming months including data from the western US.
Sulfur fertilizer and environmental impacts is of increasing interest with papers discussing positive and negatives being brought to the forefront.
Increasing acidification of western soils is reducing crop yields and multi-state update of lime recommendations in Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, and Washington. A white paper on this is available. Has produced a better understanding of lime calibrations and needs.
Idaho - Sugarbeet yield has increased but nitrogen requirements have not. Tarkalson and Rogers are currently updating recommendations in collaboration with the Amalgamated Sugar Company.
Industry-sponsored research at several universities developed through collaborations and trust built through WERA-103 coordination. Example is Nutrien sponsoring nutrient trials on 4R practices of various products at about $50,000 in funding for WERA-103 members.
Idaho (Spackman) research on mustard that will help improve recommendations in Utah and Montana as well.
California (Geisler): Continued improvement on tools for Californian growers http://geisseler.ucdavis.edu/Online_Tools.html
Objective #2: Promote effective use of soil, water, plant, manure and compost analytical information.
Expansion of the multi-state Agricultural Laboratory Proficiency Program and the growing Manure and Compost Analysis Proficiency programs (Robert Miller, CSU)
North American Proficiency Testing (NAPT) Program (with the Soil Science Society of America) continues to be coordinated, supported and utilized by members of WERA-103 with Bryan Hopkins as the program lead.
Repurposing nutrients:
Several ongoing efforts on capturing, repurposing, and recycling nutrients from byproducts, wastes, etc.
Idaho – phosphorus removal from waste streams of dairy cattle and fish farms as a source of crop nutrients.
Environmental Quality:
Greenhouse gas emissions work by USDA-ARS in Idaho (Rob Dungan and Chris Rogers).
Phosphorus legacy work in coordinated nationwide USDA-ARS project including Idaho.
Manure priming and legacy work in coordinated nationwide USDA-ARS project including Idaho.
Soil Health:
Soil Health Institute collaborated with several Western states to collect soils data from long-term trials that resulted in several manuscripts.
Nitro alfalfa as an organic N source for small grains (Spackman).
Research on long-term changes from single time manure applications (Tarkalson, Dungan, Rogers)
Objective #3: Provide education on the principles of soil-plant-animal-water system management and the tools and practices that lead to sustainable agricultural production
WERA-103 members have provided many presentations and talks for both agriculture producers, industry personnel, and other researchers.
Articles were published in Crop and Soil Magazine with a circulation of ~15,000
A wide-range of online tools developed by UC-Davis, Oregon State University, and other institutions.
Impacts
- The 2023 Western Nutrient Management Conference had 39 registered attendees who benefited from 20 oral presentations and 20 poster presentations from university, USDA-ARS, industry, and student contributors.
- Articles written by WERA103 members in Crops and Soil reach around 15,000 individuals with direct interest in crop and soil management
- Multiple on-going multistate projects with WERA-103 members as key members of the research
- USDA-ARS Researchers and industry scientists have updated nitrogen recommendations for sugar beet in the Pacific NW
- Interaction of USDA/ARS, private industry and land grant results in meaningful research and outreach
